Biography
William was born in 1758. He is the son of Samuel Staples and Mercy Cane. [1]
The first white child born was William Staples, in the old French Fort Nov. 16, 1758. They moved thence to Naskeag Point within one year. There Mr. Staples was living at the age of twenty-five years, in December 1783. When the English evacuated Bagaduce he was seized and carried off by them as a pilot and nothing certain was ever heard from him again. It is supposed he was shot and thrown overboard by the British. He left two sons, William and Samuel, and a daughter, whose name is unknown to me now. His descendants live on Swan's Island and Deer Isle. - Belfast Journal
